Regional approach to organic residuals recovery in Wisconsin

Article Abstract:

The Land Conservation Department (BCLCD) and the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District (GBMSD) partnered with the local meat-packing, animal by-products recycling, and dairy industries to determine the feasibility of establishing a regional composting operation. The study aims to improve surface water quality from decreased soil phosphorus runoff and improve ground water quality from decreased nitrate contamination, along with economic benefits such as long-term stability and potential expansions for the local dairy and meatpacking industries.

Sewage sludge composting on the island of Crete

Article Abstract:

Pilot tests are underway in Crete to determine the effects of different bulking agents, mixing ratios, and feedstocks on sewage sludge compost product quality. Bulking agents include wood chips and green materials such as olive tree branches. Optimum results were obtained with a sludge to green waste ratio of 1:2 v/v and six turnings.

Cocomposting olive residuals and green waste on Crete

Article Abstract:

Olive tree leaves are one of the most important organic waste residues on the island of Crete in southern Greece. The various processes that are set up to tackle the problem of managing and treating Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW), Olive tree leaves (OTL), Olive tree branches (OTB) and Extracted Olive Press Cake (EOPC) are discussed.
